The Bestowal of Michael on Urantia

120:2.1“1. In ac­cor­dance with the us­ages and in con­for­mity with the tech­nique of Son­ar­ing­ton—in com­pli­ance with the man­dates of the Eter­nal Son of Par­a­dise—I have pro­vided in ev­ery way for your im­me­di­ate en­trance upon this mor­tal be­stowal in har­mony with the plans for­mu­lated by you and placed in my keep­ing by Ga­briel. You will grow up on Uran­tia as a child of the realm, com­plete your hu­man ed­u­ca­tion—all the while sub­ject to the will of your Par­a­dise Fa­ther—live your life on Uran­tia as you have de­ter­mined, ter­mi­nate your plan­e­tary so­journ, and pre­pare for as­cen­sion to your Fa­ther to re­ceive from him the su­preme sov­er­eignty of your uni­verse.

120:2.2“2. Apart from your earth mis­sion and your uni­verse rev­e­la­tion, but in­ci­den­tal to both, I coun­sel that you as­sume, af­ter you are suf­fi­ciently self-con­scious of your di­vine iden­tity, the ad­di­tional task of tech­ni­cally ter­mi­nat­ing the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion in the sys­tem of Sa­ta­nia, and that you do all this as the Son of Man; thus, as a mor­tal crea­ture of the realm, in weak­ness made pow­er­ful by faith-sub­mis­sion to the will of your Fa­ther, I sug­gest that you gra­ciously achieve all you have re­peat­edly de­clined ar­bi­trar­ily to ac­com­plish by power and might when you were so en­dowed at the time of the in­cep­tion of this sin­ful and un­jus­ti­fied re­bel­lion. I would re­gard it as a fit­ting cli­max of your mor­tal be­stowal if you should re­turn to us as the Son of Man, Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia, as well as the Son of God, su­preme sov­er­eign of your uni­verse. As a mor­tal man, the low­est type of in­tel­li­gent crea­ture in Neb­a­don, meet and ad­ju­di­cate the blas­phe­mous pre­ten­sions of Cali­gas­tia and Lu­cifer and, in your as­sumed hum­ble es­tate, for­ever end the shame­ful mis­rep­re­sen­ta­tions of these fallen chil­dren of light. Hav­ing stead­fastly de­clined to dis­credit these rebels through the ex­er­cise of your cre­ator pre­rog­a­tives, now it would be fit­ting that you should, in the like­ness of the low­est crea­tures of your cre­ation, wrest do­min­ion from the hands of these fallen Sons; and so would your whole lo­cal uni­verse in all fair­ness clearly and for­ever rec­og­nize the jus­tice of your do­ing in the role of mor­tal flesh those things which mercy ad­mon­ished you not to do by the power of ar­bi­trary au­thor­ity. And hav­ing thus by your be­stowal es­tab­lished the pos­si­bil­ity of the sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme in Neb­a­don, you will in ef­fect have brought to a close the un­ad­ju­di­cated af­fairs of all pre­ced­ing in­sur­rec­tions, not­with­stand­ing the greater or lesser time lag in­volved in the re­al­iza­tion of this achieve­ment. By this act the pend­ing dis­sen­sions of your uni­verse will be in sub­stance liq­ui­dated. And with the sub­se­quent en­dow­ment of su­preme sov­er­eignty over your uni­verse, sim­i­lar chal­lenges to your au­thor­ity can never re­cur in any part of your great per­sonal cre­ation.

120:2.3“3. When you have suc­ceeded in ter­mi­nat­ing the Uran­tia se­ces­sion, as you un­doubt­edly will, I coun­sel you to ac­cept from Ga­briel the con­fer­ence of the ti­tle of ‘Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia’ as the eter­nal rec­og­ni­tion by your uni­verse of your fi­nal be­stowal ex­pe­ri­ence; and that you fur­ther do any and all things, con­sis­tent with the pur­port of your be­stowal, to atone for the sor­row and con­fu­sion brought upon Uran­tia by the Cali­gas­tia be­trayal and the sub­se­quent Adamic de­fault.

120:2.4“4. In ac­cor­dance with your re­quest, Ga­briel and all con­cerned will co-op­er­ate with you in the ex­pressed de­sire to end your Uran­tia be­stowal with the pro­nounce­ment of a dis­pen­sa­tional judg­ment of the realm, ac­com­pa­nied by the ter­mi­na­tion of an age, the res­ur­rec­tion of the sleep­ing mor­tal sur­vivors, and the es­tab­lish­ment of the dis­pen­sa­tion of the be­stowed Spirit of Truth.

120:2.5“5. As con­cerns the planet of your be­stowal and the im­me­di­ate gen­er­a­tion of men liv­ing thereon at the time of your mor­tal so­journ, I coun­sel you to func­tion largely in the role of a teacher. Give at­ten­tion, first, to the lib­er­a­tion and in­spi­ra­tion of man’s spir­i­tual na­ture. Next, il­lu­mi­nate the dark­ened hu­man in­tel­lect, heal the souls of men, and eman­ci­pate their minds from age-old fears. And then, in ac­cor­dance with your mor­tal wis­dom, min­is­ter to the phys­i­cal well-be­ing and ma­te­rial com­fort of your broth­ers in the flesh. Live the ideal re­li­gious life for the in­spi­ra­tion and ed­i­fi­ca­tion of all your uni­verse.

120:2.6“6. On the planet of your be­stowal, set re­bel­lion-seg­re­gated man spir­i­tu­ally free. On Uran­tia, make a fur­ther con­tri­bu­tion to the sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme, thus ex­tend­ing the es­tab­lish­ment of this sov­er­eignty through­out the broad do­mains of your per­sonal cre­ation. In this, your ma­te­rial be­stowal in the like­ness of the flesh, you are about to ex­pe­ri­ence the fi­nal en­light­en­ment of a time-space Cre­ator, the dual ex­pe­ri­ence of work­ing within the na­ture of man with the will of your Par­a­dise Fa­ther. In your tem­po­ral life the will of the fi­nite crea­ture and the will of the in­fi­nite Cre­ator are to be­come as one, even as they are also unit­ing in the evolv­ing De­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. Pour out upon the planet of your be­stowal the Spirit of Truth and thus make all nor­mal mor­tals on that iso­lated sphere im­me­di­ately and fully ac­ces­si­ble to the min­istry of the seg­re­gated pres­ence of our Par­a­dise Fa­ther, the Thought Ad­justers of the realms.

120:2.7“7. In all that you may per­form on the world of your be­stowal, bear con­stantly in mind that you are liv­ing a life for the in­struc­tion and ed­i­fi­ca­tion of all your uni­verse. You are be­stow­ing this life of mor­tal in­car­na­tion upon Uran­tia, but you are to live such a life for the spir­i­tual in­spi­ra­tion of ev­ery hu­man and super­hu­man in­tel­li­gence that has lived, now ex­ists, or may yet live on ev­ery in­hab­ited world which has formed, now forms, or may yet form a part of the vast galaxy of your ad­min­is­tra­tive do­main. Your earth life in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh shall not be so lived as to con­sti­tute an ex­am­ple for the mor­tals of Uran­tia in the days of your earthly so­journ nor for any sub­se­quent gen­er­a­tion of hu­man be­ings on Uran­tia or on any other world. Rather shall your life in the flesh on Uran­tia be the in­spi­ra­tion for all lives upon all Neb­a­don worlds through­out all gen­er­a­tions in the ages to come.

120:2.8“8. Your great mis­sion to be re­al­ized and ex­pe­ri­enced in the mor­tal in­car­na­tion is em­braced in your de­ci­sion to live a life whole­heart­edly mo­ti­vated to do the will of your Par­a­dise Fa­ther, thus to re­veal God, your Fa­ther, in the flesh and es­pe­cially to the crea­tures of the flesh. At the same time you will also in­ter­pret, with a new en­hance­ment, our Fa­ther, to the super­mor­tal be­ings of all Neb­a­don. Equally with this min­istry of new rev­e­la­tion and aug­mented in­ter­pre­ta­tion of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther to the hu­man and the super­hu­man type of mind, you will also so func­tion as to make a new rev­e­la­tion of man to God. Ex­hibit in your one short life in the flesh, as it has never be­fore been seen in all Neb­a­don, the tran­scen­dent pos­si­bil­i­ties at­tain­able by a God-know­ing hu­man dur­ing the short ca­reer of mor­tal ex­is­tence, and make a new and il­lu­mi­nat­ing in­ter­pre­ta­tion of man and the vi­cis­si­tudes of his plan­e­tary life to all the super­hu­man in­tel­li­gences of all Neb­a­don, and for all time. You are to go down to Uran­tia in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh, and liv­ing as a man in your day and gen­er­a­tion, you will so func­tion as to show your en­tire uni­verse the ideal of per­fected tech­nique in the su­preme en­gage­ment of the af­fairs of your vast cre­ation: The achieve­ment of God seek­ing man and find­ing him and the phe­nom­e­non of man seek­ing God and find­ing him; and do­ing all of this to mu­tual sat­is­fac­tion and do­ing it dur­ing one short life­time in the flesh.

120:2.9“9. I cau­tion you ever to bear in mind that, while in fact you are to be­come an or­di­nary hu­man of the realm, in po­ten­tial you will re­main a Cre­ator Son of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther. Through­out this in­car­na­tion, al­though you will live and act as a Son of Man, the cre­ative at­tri­butes of your per­sonal di­vin­ity will fol­low you from Sal­ving­ton to Uran­tia. It will ever be within your power-of-will to ter­mi­nate the in­car­na­tion at any mo­ment sub­se­quent to the ar­rival of your Thought Ad­juster. Prior to the ar­rival and re­cep­tion of the Ad­juster I will vouch for your per­son­al­ity in­tegrity. But sub­se­quent to the ar­rival of your Ad­juster and con­comi­tant with your pro­gres­sive rec­og­ni­tion of the na­ture and im­port of your be­stowal mis­sion, you should re­frain from the for­mu­la­tion of any super­hu­man will-to-at­tain­ment, achieve­ment, or power in view of the fact that your cre­ator pre­rog­a­tives will re­main as­so­ci­ated with your mor­tal per­son­al­ity be­cause of the in­sep­a­ra­bil­ity of these at­tri­butes from your per­sonal pres­ence. But no super­hu­man reper­cus­sions will at­tend your earthly ca­reer apart from the will of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther un­less you should, by an act of con­scious and de­lib­er­ate will, make an un­di­vided de­ci­sion which would ter­mi­nate in whole-per­son­al­ity choice.
